Yes, I know what you mean. I gave up on Adobe Animate.
Pixi is great for anything that is a texture, then it is really fast. Otherwise it is not a flash replacement.
I do not use it for vector animations, but spritesheets or a webm video overlay is what I would use in your case.
yeah, I really didn't want to use video. The vectors are around 64kb per cut scene. I don't want to create several Mb worth of mp4s for each one.
Did you give it a try? If the scenes are quite short, I found webm to have a reasonable small size.
But .. it bothers me of course as well, having a full video of rastergraphic what could be just some vector and animation data.
I haven't tried with webm. But they need to play full screen on desktop and also stream well on mobile.
I might try Spine, I've heard some positive things. They'll still end up as textures in pixi but maybe at least they can pack well.
